We define a string as a sequence of Characters. We say that every Character can be uniquely identified by its unicode value. and we say nothing about things like locale, language etc.. because it is higher level concepts, e.g. things like mapping unicode value (or sequence of them) into sequence of glyphs to display on screen, using whatever font, is outside of scope of 'String' definition. > Cheers, > Henry > -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.
